I’m not a racist, and until someone shows me genetic proof for the behaviors exhibited by certain communities, I never will be.
Melanin content does not drive behavior. Character content does. We have a cultural problem that has been misidentified as a racial problem.
Black people are not targeted for police action, nor are they disproportionally impacted by police violence. Would you like to know who is? It’s CRIMINALS.
The people who get tasered, tackled, cuffed and stuffed are generally those who are breaking the law, resisting arrest, and behaving violently.
Why is it that the left assumes that this behavior is driven by race?
The socialist left will tell you over and over that Black people are naturally violent and incapable of living peacefully within a modern society. These are not the words they use, but this is truly what they believe, as evidenced by every single racial argument that they make.
Never once does the left consider that every human being has volition... can make a choice on how they will behave in a given situation, and that choice is based entirely on the values of the individual.
What we must address is those values; the culture that instills those values into the population that drives the culture, and the idea that your choices are your responsibility, as are the consequences of those choices.
We can’t even have that conversation with an ideology that insists that Black Americans are not capable of taking responsibility for themselves and their communities because they’re Black.

I was born five days before D-Day in South Carolina, most black people around me then did not have much in the way of education but most worked hard, did not make excuses and were not threatened by whites and were not a threat to whites. None of us were very well off but we spent more time helping each other and very little time trying to destroy each other. We are worse off in many, many ways today. We will never have equality though, some people don’t want equality except when they are in the weaker position, when they achieve equality they want the superior position.
